It depends on how many return outlets you have actually... in normal circumstances... a 2000l/hr to 3000l/hr pump is ideal. Do pay attention to the energy consumption as high-power pump will generate more heat. If you are looking at 2000l/hr, nothing beats Aquabee 2000/1 for that price range.

Bro Jervis, do you care to elaborate a bit more. How does the number of outlet affect the filter flow rate and stuffs? wouldn't 3000L per hour be a bit too powerful for a 4 by 2 by 20" deep tank ? The purposse is planted.
